I can’t believe summer is winding down, and most of the music festivals with the most powerful brands are already over. I feel like festivals are soo consumerfied now that it’s hard to really let the world know that you are ‘a true alternative spirit.’ It seems like the only way left to let the world know that you are alternative would be by ‘being from another planet/galaxy/universe.’ Whenever I go to a music festival, I feel like I am in a ‘house of mirrors’, and all I can see are poorly executed reflections of myself whenever I look around.
I seriously wish I could be an alien from another galaxy. I feel like I would come to Earth, and utilize revolutionary technology to challenge the way that people think (become an artist). If I had seen so much of ‘the universe’, I feel like it would make my art more meaningful, since I had a very different life experience than most humans. Feel like I would really ‘get’ how ’small’ we all are, and try to create memes+art that makes us realize that we are ‘insignificant within the context of the universe.’
I really wonder if there is life on other planets, and if they have visited our Earth. I am not sure if aliens seem ‘very peaceful’ or ‘violent.’ Hopefully they are ‘chill’ and just like to listen to live music at music festivals.
I wonder what aliens look like. I wonder if they would have ‘personal brands’ or ‘universal brands’ (where every1 would look the same). Maybe they could teach us all more about life. Maybe they could teach us how 2 be happy.
I think it is critical that we establish positive relations with aliens. The ultimate goal of the human race is to build a space ship that enables us to leave Earth before Earth gets too hot/the sun blows up. We must acquire technology from the aliens in order to expedite this process. I don’t know if aliens have already made contact with the government and/or the illuminati, but we must begin thinking about our evacuation plan. We must realize that science is more important than the arts, and encourage students to learn about science and engineering.
There is no way that the human race will survive, unless we establish positive relations with the aliens, and some how convince them to ’show us how 2 build rocket ships.’ I feel worried and sad that I won’t live forever. I feel like the aliens are the key to everything. It is important that we ’show them a good time’ when we run into them at music festivals, instead of ‘being snarky’ and ‘analyzing their personal brands.’
Do yall believe that there is life somewhere out there?
Are yall worried about the human race?

I don’t think we should be snarky to aliens at a music festival. It would be difficult if they arrived and started dancing to a really stupid band that is derivative of bands that we like that no one else knows about or are just bands that older people like because they are out of touch with vibrant new music so just assume everything was better when we were their age.
The aliens would dance and discover the joy of music and you would see them having a “cosmic” experience, loving Earth, and humans, but yes, there is a good chance that they will not be able to distinguish between mainstream-influenced and mainstream indie-influenced music.
So basically what I’m saying is we may feel embarrassed for the aliens as they dance to Glasvegas, and have the tendency to smugly say to ourselves “If only the Mary Chain could see this travesty”—but they are aliens after all. They literally do not know any better, so turn off your hipster elitism and connect with their common inhumanity.
Pitchfork gives the aliens dancing and subsequent derivative EP a 6.7—a positive review but with a very healthy dose of constructive criticism (due to the alien’s lovable naivety).

lol a part of me feels retarded for recently dabbing myself into conspiracy theories, in a way it’s as entertaining as celebrity gossip and reality shows.
William Cooper claimed aliens and secret societies influenced our government, and David Icke claimed that many prominent figures are reptilian humanoids (if so, Anderson Cooper is definitely one). I even heard one theory that humans could possibly be genetically related to aliens and so fourth (not the souls of aliens that Scientologists believe). Theres also that AZN sounding planet called Nibiru that’s supposedly going to come to our orbit in 2012…this is just some of the crap I’ve learned the past few weeks and I’ve come to this conclusion: it’s a big ass universe and we somehow live in it, but I don’t know if aliens are something to fear (our own government and New World Order on the other hand..) I don’t want to let conspiracies make me fear humanity, and it shouldn’t, but just in case..make the most of these few years.

You assume that we are small in the context of the universe. Sometimes I think we are programmed to think that, so we stay in our place. One with the herd. Yippeee-Aiyeaaaaah! Oneness and Sameness for us all. Hip—hip

What are those supposed to be aliens or just green people.
Just think about it though: either humanity is the sole form of intelligent life in the universe, OR we are not.
Either way Major Lazer kicks all kinds of ass.

Any alien race capable of traveling across the galaxy to Earth will be so advanced the only indie music they will “get” is Burial and maybe AnCo or Dirty Projectors.
